Key authentication on Zoo will not work, since Zoo cannot access your
home directory to check keys until it has a kerberos credential.  It may
only acquire a credential if you forward one, or if it creates one from
your password.

If you want to get around typing your password often, use
kerberos/gssapi when connecting to zoo.
